BEST PLAYER TO SCORE HIS 2ND GOAL IN THE 2ND GAME OF THE SEASONAND THEN SCORE 7 GOALS SINCE:

It's been really exciting to write these GAMEDAY PREVIEWS and be a part of the LA Kings Social Media Team this season. But you can imagine my surprise when this past Friday the team told me to head over to Robyn Regehr's new apartment in the South Bay and interview him before the game against the Edmonton Oilers. I have to imagine getting traded with 12 games left in the regular season is a big adjustment for any professional hockey player... especially one going from Upstate New York to Sunny Southern California. Upon my arrival, the fact that Robyn Regehr's apartment was empty didn't surprise me... but the one piece of art he had up on the wall did catch me a bit off guard.

From LA Kings fan, @Pennertration, with their theory on why Alec Martinez was a healthy scratch last game...
